INTRODUTION: It was the first day of August 2009. It was 96 degrees outside of Jack and Roses' house in Arizona. Jack was now working at a large company where he sorted mail. He was still a struggling artist but after he and Rose got married in 2000 and they had their first child named Nevaeh he decided he needed a steady job to support his wife and two kids. He and Rose had also adopted that cute little curly haired girl, Cora. Rose was just a stay at home mom at the time. She had, had a couple of jobs but realized most of her pay check was going to paying for child care but now the girls were starting to grow up. Nevaeh was 9 and Cora was already 18 and had just graduated from high school. Since Nevaeh was already in school Rose was thinking about getting another job, but Jack said that unless she wanted to work that there was no need for her to work, that he was making enough money at the time.
Rose and Jack lived in a beautiful house outside of Phoenix. They had bought the house after the Titanic sank. Rose and Jack both survived the sinking. Rose had not spoken to her mother or Cal since the ship sunk. Rose and Jack had been through a lot since they met on Titanic. Rose battled lung cancer for 3 years from 2001-2004. Jack had neck surgery in 2006 and it almost paralyzed him. That was the year that Rose worked because Jack could not work and they had a pile of medical bills to pay that insurance would not pay.
"Rose, I'm home." Jack said as he walked in the door.
"Did you have a good day at work honey?" Rose asked Jack.
"Well actually I had a great day." replied Jack
"You never have great days at work, what is so special about today?" Rose asked Jack.
"Well Rose, have you ever wanted to go to Hawaii?" Asked Jack with a smile on his face.
"Of course you know I have always wanted to got o Hawaii!" Replied Rose.
"Well today at work they had a raffle and I bought a $1.00 ticket and I won a trip to Hawaii, all expenses paid."
"Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh…." Rose repeatedly said for over 3 minutes.
"Rose, calm down."
"When do we leave?" Asked Rose.
"We leave tomorrow." Replied Jack.
"Wait a minute Jack, How are we getting there?" Rose asked with a scared look in her face.
"By plane." Jack told Rose.
"Oh thank God! I thought we would be going by ship." Rose said as the scared look in her face disappeared.
Rose walked into Cora's room and opened the door, Cora was reading a book.
"Cora honey, guess what" Rose said while trying to keep from smiling.
"What mom?"
"Well would you like to go on a vacation to a place called… Hawaii!!!!" Rose screamed.
"Oh my God mom are you kidding me?" Cora asked Rose while jumping up and down.
Nevaeh walked into the room wondering why her mom and sister where jumping up and down screaming "We're going to Hawaii!" repeatedly.
"Nevaeh go pack your bags cause we're going to Hawaii." Rose said to Nevaeh.
Rose ran into her and Jack's room and grabbed her suitcase and started packing.
